One of the victim’s neighbours tried — but failed — to rip the passenger out of the front seat.

Another resident, Alan Atkinson, said he ran out to the street to find his neighbour lying down in the street.

“My wife actually woke me up, I was getting up for work, I was already awake but ... she’d come out saying something’s happening in the street,” Mr Atkinson told 7NEWS.

“So I got dressed and quickly went out and found my good friend, my neighbour Andy, face flat in the cul-de-sac.

“By then there were quite a few neighbours around Andy, one had got a blanket and kept him warm.”

The victim had tried to disrupt the offenders before they made a getaway with his car.

“Andy has been banged around a bit, he’s got quite a bit of marks on him,” Mr Atkinson said.

“I feel pretty angry about it because Andy is close to us ... I just wish I had woken up 5-10 minutes earlier.

“He’s a very good dude, he’s a great guy, he’d do anything for you.”
